The Blessed Life

I will never know the extent of pain another individual is experiencing.  I will not be able to comprehend it even though I think I know what pain means academically.  For me to say 'Yes, I understand' is not a true statement. I may be able to relate to the feeling but does my perception do?  What I feel is empathy.  Empathy is not the same as feeling the pain.  As is, when a person says he or she is in pain, it can be more than just the physical sensation.  It is also emotional, mental and even spiritual. It is a fact that I may not truly grasp the full extent and intensity of the pain others feel.  And, I will never do.  It shall be my ego intellect that thinks I understand it. Emotions are personal.  Two people who are feeling hurt, for example, experience hurt differently.  Two people going through grief react in two different manners.  Two sorrowful individuals have varied levels of sorrow. Instead of saying 'Yes, I understand and feel you', I should say 'I hea

Where there is a will, there shall be a way.  It depends on how much determination do I have inside of me wanting to achieve for that something.  Should that something mean a lot to me, I will always find a way to accomplish it regardless of any obstacles. Everything there is here on Mother Earth is up for grab.  The Universe is infinite with plenty of abundance.  Anything and everything is possible.  There are no limits to what I can accomplish except the limits I place on my own thinking. It is the way I think that makes it impossible.  The mind can be full of doubts.  Doubt will not turn everything to work.  When there is even the slightest doubt, there shall be lack of conviction to perform.  Doubt gives the feeling of uncertainty about the truth. Khalil Gibran says 'Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother'.  I must learn to doubt my doubts, and throw them away, before I doubt about faith.  The sky is the limit and I should never doubt the divine l

Behind those tears is a heart that cries.  A heart that is longing for the emotions of love to be in a state of being.  A heart that desperately yearning for love, unconditional love, in action. Behind those tears is the story of trauma.  The trauma that has paralyzed growth to take place.  An event that buries the sense of security.  A happening that leaves scars where hope is lost. Behind those tears is a feeling of sorrow.  A human sadness that screams for human connection, compassion and understanding. Behind those tears lies the desire for connectedness.  The longing for loving interaction and the wish for better ways to live. Behind those tears is the expression of joy.  The deep peace of being one with divinity.  Every step closer to the Divine brings joy and, hopefully, less tears in the great ocean of human history. In this world full of pleasure so frail, I will let my tears build the courage to live.  Let the tears feel that life is worth living.  Let them have positive rela

Sometimes all that I can do is to let love speak with my tears.  To have these tears to bring in the joy and peace within me.  Tears will lead me to a place filled with serenity and tranquility. Tears are signs of happiness, sadness, fear or gratitude.  Above all, they signify the language of love.  They are the best expression of the heart.  When words may not do justice but tears do.  Tears speak volumes of the years of love the heart has devoted to. For the sweetness to keep things in harmony, it is best not to let words do the talking.  Words may not get to express the complete emotions of the heart, of love. Tears, however, complete the hidden messages and make things right.  At the same time, tears wash away and soothe all pains. Behind the tears is my prayer for all things good and well.  It is the outward 'voice' for the inner passion of the heart and the soul.  Love is tears.  It is in every single drops that fall.  Tears represent what something, or someone, really me
